Ngaio Childspace is nestled within the beautiful area of Tarikaka Settlement in Ngaio, Wellington.
We believe in care and education that fosters reciprocal and respectful relationships with tamariki and whanau. It is through this partnership and our continuity of care approach that children are supported holistically within our space.
We endeavour to have enriching and engaging environments that encourage exploration, autonomy, and trust while upholding the values that are important to us as a centre, and those that are important to our whanau.
Our passionate team of qualified teachers work across two neighbouring spaces: one villa is dedicated to children up to the age of around two years old and the other villa up to the age of five years old.
Whilst each age group has their own freedom of space, there is a caring culture where all children spend time together and learn from one another.
Ngaio Childspace is a full-time centre, committed to fostering love and care in Early Childhood Education.
Ngaio Childspace runs a relationship based programme focusing on the utmost respect for every child and family that we work with.
Our thoughtfully planned out spaces offer opportunity for exploration and investigation, and also spaces for sanctuary and retreat.
Inspired by the work of Emmi Pikler and Magda Gerber, we have created a peaceful environment which allows children to discover as much as possible on their own with the support of familiar and consistent teachers.
This respectful approach is supported by our key caregiving system which ensures one person within the environment is committed to building a close trusting relationship with each child and their family.
This creates consistent communication with families on a daily basis and a secure base for children spending time away from their family during the day.
Our whole-team approach to key caregiving ensures that all teachers form loving and respectful relationships with children.
